Since AMD introduced the Athlon X2 with dual cores hype in the media has been about supposed core wars that Intel and AMD might switch to away from the MHz race that was previously popular. However, if there is a core war it certainly is slow going because so far there have only been dual and quad core processors released from Intel and AMD in the years since the Athlon X2 introduction. Not much of a core war race though that might change in the future in the near term four cores are as far as Intel or AMD will be going. That said, there have been rumors for some time regarding a triple core Phenom processor and those were told to be true from AMD going back some time. Today AMD has officially released in the channel, B3 revision Phenoms of triple core processors to try and find a consumer market somewhere between quad and dual core processors. The CPU we'll be looking at specifically is AMD Phenom X3 8750.
